Idylle, which is French for 'romance', is my latest beadwoven creation. A romantic, lacy, Olde Worlde necklace in shades of lilac and cream. This is a great example of how one idea can lead to another. The beaded beads and pendant in my "Vintage Rose" necklace inspired me to push those ideas further to see what I could create. And this is the result, variations on the same theme but a completely different outcome:
Detail of the floral motifs (they are identical front and back, so the reverse side of my necklace is just as pretty as the front):
Detail of the floral clasp. As usual, I wanted it to blend in with the rest of the design:
I hope you explore some variations in your own work. We all need a good dose of 'What if...?' occasionally. You never know what it will lead to! ;)
This necklace is absolutely amazing!!! I lobve its colour, its shape, its motifs... Congratulations & Happy New Year to you too!
